After the three of them entered Nanguo Temple, the fat monk leading the way first took them to the back hall.
The entire apse is exquisitely decorated, the floor is paved with white jade, and the doors, windows and pillars of the entire main hall are made of mahogany, which is extremely luxurious!
In the back hall, the fat monk put his hands together and said to Mei Youqian:
"Master Mei, please wait here, I will go and report to the host now."
Mei Yougan nodded:
"Then I'll bother you, master."
"Anyway, this is what a poor monk should do, please sit down for a while." The fat monk said and walked out of the back hall.
At this time, Zuo Shisan, An Rushuang and Mei Youqian were the only ones left in the entire apse.
Mei Youqian sat in the back hall and looked at Zuo Shisan and asked in a low voice:
"Master, you told me on the phone before that the abbot of Nanguo Temple has a problem. What problem does he have?"
Zuo Shisan said:
"The abbot of Nanguo Temple may be involved in a murder case, so I came here to investigate."
Mei Youqian then asked:
"Master, if you come in so blatantly, aren't you afraid of alerting others?"
Zuo Shisan smiled and said:
"Actually, before we came, the abbot of Nanguo Temple might have guessed that I would be back sooner or later."
The three of them continued to wait in the back hall for more than ten minutes, and then an older monk quickly walked in from outside the hall door.
This monk had a fluttering white beard, wore a red cassock, held a nine-ring tin staff, and had a red face. As soon as he entered the back hall, he walked quickly towards Mei Youqian:
"Master Mei, I'm really sorry to be disappointed. There was a guest in the room just now and I couldn't get away. Please don't be offended, Master Mei..."
Mei Youqian stood up quickly and said:
"Master Ksitigarbha, you are so polite. Let me introduce you. This is my master Zuo Shisan, and next to me is my master, An Rushuang."
Master Ksitigarbha quickly turned around and looked at Zuo Shisan and said with a smile:
"Thirteenth Left, the former top master of the Maoshan Dragon and Tiger Sect, your name has long been heard by me, and I have admired you for a long time!"
Zuo Shisan was too lazy to be polite to the Master Ksitigarbha in front of him at this time. He first opened his yin and yang eyes and looked at Master Ksitigarbha. He glanced around and saw nothing unusual about Master Ksitigarbha. He had insufficient Yang Qi. It's normal for his age.
So Zuo Shisan smiled and said:
"Master Ksitigarbha, we plain people don't tell secrets. We came here rashly this time because we want to inquire about someone from you."
"Who are you asking about?" Master Ksitigarbha asked, looking at Zuo Shisan.
"His name is Zhang Changfeng. I wonder if Master Ksitigarbha has any impression of this person?" When Zuo Shisan said the three words "Zhang Changfeng", he had been observing the expression on Master Ksitigarbha's face.
But after Master Ksitigarbha heard the name Zhang Changfeng, there was no expression on his face:
"Zhang Changfeng? I really don't know anyone with that name." His tone was calm, as if he really didn't know him.
Zuo Shisan sneered after hearing this:
"Master Ksitigarbha, it seems that you are such a noble person and forget things. Let me remind you again. Zhang Changfeng came to tell your fortune. You should have accepted him one million, right?"
When Master Ksitigarbha heard me say this, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his calm face, but then disappeared:
"Amitabha, this distinguished guest, I really don't know what you mean by these words. I don't know a person named Zhang Changfeng, and I have never received one million in hexagram gold. I'm afraid you have the wrong person?"
Zuo Shisan saw that Master Ksitigarbha was completely indifferent, and knew that it would be futile to continue asking questions, so he changed his approach:
"It seems that we have really found the wrong person. Since you don't know Zhang Changfeng, Master Ksitigarbha, we will leave first."
As soon as Zuo Shisan finished speaking, Master Ksitigarbha said:
"The donor is staying here. Since everyone has already arrived, he is a guest. It's already dinner time, so why not stay at our Nanguo Temple for a light meal before leaving?"
Zuo Shisan immediately understood what Master Ksitigarbha, the old fox, meant. It seemed that he was not going to let them leave Nanguo Temple today.
Zuo Shisan wanted to see what tricks Master Ksitigarbha could use, so he nodded in agreement:
"no problem!"
"The three of you will wait in the back hall for a moment. I will go to arrange the kitchen to prepare a simple meal for the three distinguished guests."
After Master Ksitigarbha said these words, he left with the nine-ring staff...
After An Rushuang saw Master Ksitigarbha walking away, she asked Zuo Shisan:
"Thirteen, does this host named Master Ksitigarbha keep us here because he wants to do something to us?"
Thirteenth from the left:
"I want to see how much trouble this small Nanguo Temple can stir up." The biggest reason why Zuo Shisan dared to bring An Rushuang to Nanguo Temple was because of his rapid recovery of Yang.
Qi and cultivation. Since the Dantian was repaired, Zuo Shisan's cultivation and Yang Qi have been continuously improving. Even though he is now unable to use "Wuji Zhenqi" and "Xuanhuang Earth Scripture", he still has enough ability to lead An
Rushuang and Mei Youqian escaped from Nanguo Temple intact.
Mei Youqian came over and asked Zuo Shisan:
"Master, I think Master Ksitigarbha has been lying to you. In fact, he has always charged this million for fortune telling. The last time my parents brought me to him for fortune telling, they also charged us.
one million."
Thirteen from the left nodded:
"I know all this. I'm just waiting for him to lose his patience and reveal the fox's tail in advance. I want to see what this old man is capable of."
Although Zuo Shisan did not take Master Ksitigarbha in his mouth, he did not dare to neglect it at all. He took advantage of the current time to open his Yin and Yang eyes and observed the entire back hall.
Find anything suspicious or suspicious.
Soon, the monk in the temple gave the three of them the usual fast food.
All were vegetarian dishes. Mei Youqian looked at the vegetarian food on the table and was about to take action when he was stopped by Zuo Shisan:
"Mei Youqian, you don't want to live anymore?"
"Master, what do you mean?" Mei Youqian, who was sitting at the dinner table, looked at Zuo Shisan and asked in confusion.
Thirteenth from the left:
"Nine times out of ten, this food has been poisoned for us."
Only then did Mei Youqian react:
"Yes, yes, I forgot about this." As he said this, Mei Youqian quickly stood up from the dining table.
The three of them waited in the back hall for a while, but still did not see the monk who came to take away the food, so Zuo Shisan wanted to go out and take a look.
Just when Zuo Shisan was about to step out of the back hall door, An Rushuang called out to him:
"Thirteen, don't go out, I have a bad feeling."
An Rushuang's perception has always been much stronger than that of ordinary people, so when An Rushuang said these words, Zuo Shisan stopped.
At the same time, heavy footsteps came from outside the palace gate!
